God damn! uh oh! our kids my see boobs that they wanna see! or blood in a tv show! it WONT warp their minds. i remember when i was a kid i hated cenorship and im still against it so just crawl into the little ***** holl you call cenorship so we can destroy it! cenorship is running rampant through america and i hate it! I mean if you didnt cenor things, then it wouldnt be as bad. so **** off. im tired of this kind of ****! you're all like "OH MY GOD GOLLY GOSHBURGERS! THE NEW LORD OF THE RINGS MOVIE IS NAMED THE TWO TOWERS! GOOD GOLLY! I BETTER GET THE NAME CHANGED TO SOMETHING LIKE "SAM AND FRODO HIT THE ROAD" OR "ADVENTURES WITH GOLLUM". EVEN THOUGH THE TITLE AND BOOK HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS!

Some people should truly be shot, there such ****ing retards. I would just like to make clear that the view of whoever made that pettition does not represent the view of 99.9999999 percent of americans.

Why are you people getting irate about this petition? There are a few simple facts here: (1) The sequeal was only completed recently. Movie studios dont make movies unless they thing they're make money off them; (2) Mr. Jackson named the sequal "The Two Towers" to capitalize on the 9/11 tragedy. (3) All this ranting about some "JR Tolkein" has nothing to do with the movie--they are only similarly named. If you have something to say to me, say it directly. You know where to e-mail me: slashdotwidener@yahoo.com. Screaming cowards don't even use your real neams.

Either he is a lame joker or a really really stupid person.
I mean "this ranting about some "JR Tolkien" has nothing to do with the movie".
He just cant be serious.

Out of the first 1000 or so entries only a maximum of maybe 50 are genuine, the rest are voided. Then the flame war begins.

It makes some of this boards previous (and even current) encounters look civilized and polite formal debate.

I think I want to email the person who set it up and say something like, you are joking aren't you? This was just a big hook with a big meaty worm and you wanted to see what you caught wasn't it. But haven't the guts in case he's actually genuine.

And if he finds JRR Tolkien's title a gross offensive act, he should possibly come over to the UK to discuss real offensive films such as U-571, The Patriot, Braveheart, Titanic and unfortunately The Great Escape (Which is still a class film)
